Template 10 Freebie

Well it didn't take long to get the one more follower (actually I got two more!) I usually make my templates from layouts that I've done, but this time I did something different. I was at a crop this past weekend and I started looking through a new Creative Memories catalog. (Have you seen one lately? They have changed quite a bit.) Anyway, I saw this layout that I loved, but didn't have time to srcaplift it. (I know I didn't get any pages done, so I'm not sure why I didn't have time, but....) So I decided to do a template so I could do the layout later and not have to worry about losing the piece of paper I drew it on! This time, not only do I have the psd file, I also added the pngs and a tiff file. I have learned that some applications do not use psd files, but they can use the rest.

Anyway, here is the template, hope you like it! The image is linked to the download. Oh, and what do you think of the colors for this?

Sneak Peek at a new kit

Adriana's Cafe will have a new kit out on the 10th of this month. I can't wait for you all to see it. She has a story behind the kit on her blog and on her facebook page (if you haven't already Liked it, you may want to!) She is going to have some games between now and the 10th.

The reason I love the kit is because of a journey I'm getting ready to begin, but I'm going to wait until the 10th to share it with you along with my layout.

Here is a sneak peek at the kit. I know you will love it!

Here are my layouts using this kit. They are both so different since the kit is so versatile!

Rainbow Bridge

In early September, Katina (aka The Scrappy Kat) lost her poodle, Pepe.


Pepe was a rescue dog, and Kat enjoyed his loyal, loving companionship for 15 years! Most of us can relate to losing a pet, and it is especially heartbreaking to lose one who has been a part of our family for such a long time. As we are not all in Kat's neighborhood to give her big hugs, the designers at STS have decided to give her a virtual hug, but creating a special kit called Rainbow Bridge (poem below) to honor not only the adorable, well-loved Pepe, but all the animals we love and lose in our lifetime. We have dogs, cats, horses; we even have lizards, bunnies, and many other kinds of pets in this kit! With a colorful rainbow palette and a ton of papers and elements showcasing all kinds of pets, this kit is perfect for ALL pet owners! The best thing about the Rainbow Bridge kit is that ALL proceeds from the kit will be donated to Katina's local Humane Society. You can check out their website here.http://www.humanesocietyswm.org/about.php


Here is the kit they made. It's linked to the store.



And here is the lovely poem that inspired this kit:

Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge

When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable. All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor. Those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind. They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent. His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster. You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart. Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....
